Dear Colleagues,

The Society for Health Systems of the Institute of Industrial Engineers (IIE) is sponsoring the Healthcare Modeling and Healthcare Systems Tracks at the 2015 Industrial and Systems Engineering Research Conference (ISERC).  The ISERC, which is part of the IIE Annual Conference and Expo, is a forum for exchanging knowledge and discoveries in the industrial and systems engineering research community.

As track chairs of the Healthcare Modeling and Healthcare Systems Tracks, we would like to encourage you to contribute to the conference by submitting an abstract.  Authors of accepted abstracts will be invited to present their work in ISERC sessions. Each session will be 75 minutes and have 3 or 4 presenters. Abstracts are welcome in the following areas:

Healthcare Modeling Track

*         Operations Research

*         Medical Decision Making

*         Simulation

*         Scheduling

*         Facility Logistics

*         Supply Chain Management

Healthcare Systems Track

*         Human Factors

*         Patient Safety

*         Work Systems

*         Quality

*         Technology

*         Lean



We strongly encourage all presenters to submit a full length paper for the conference proceedings. The papers should contain results that are significant and have archival value to the industrial and systems engineering research community.  Full papers have a ten-page limit and will undergo a double-blind peer review process.  All accepted papers are indexed by ProQuest.  IIE is currently working on uploading papers of previous years onto the IIE website. Presentations without a paper are acceptable, but will not be indexed in the conference proceedings.

The important deadlines for the conference are:

*         Abstract submissions:                                                                            November 26, 2014

*         Notification of Decision on Abstract:                                               December 19, 2014

*         Submission of Full Papers (optional but encouraged):             January 30, 2015

*         Notification of Decision on Paper:                                                    February 27, 2015

*         Final Version of Full paper Due:                                                         March 13, 2015

*         Presenting Author Registration Deadline:                                     March 22, 2015


If your abstract or paper is accepted: (a) the presenting author for the paper must register for the conference by March 22, 2015 (presentations/papers without the presenting author being registered for the conference will be withdrawn from the program and the proceedings); (b) the presenting author must attend and present the paper at the conference; and (c) we ask that you be ready to serve as a reviewer for fellow authors and follow review deadlines.

There are also opportunities to organize invited sessions or panels; please contact us if you are interested (contact information below). In addition to research presentations, the annual conference offers many opportunities for attendees, including the Applied Solutions Conference program, plant tours, networking, and keynote speakers.

We look forward to seeing you in Nashville!
